Beautiful GMTs. That 16710 is sharp as hell, almost nos looking. Crown guards are just so perfect. As good as it gets.

A true classic for sure. Congrats!

Now that it has a new home, you can take that green sticker off the case back

Am I the only one who thinks that a 16710 Pepsi is the perfect Rolex.

I mean yes a PN Daytona is up there. But one that is more available and affordable the Pepsi can’t be beat.

Thank you! Absolutely I will be!
I guess as a vintage collector, and having no trouble wearing the older watches in pristine condition, the 16710 is definitely not going to stop me!

Thank you! The patience of the hunt paid off.
There are PLENTY of 16710s in the market. Just got to stay patient for the right one I suppose.

The 16710 has been my grail watch for more than half my life. Obtained early this year.

Congrats. I really wish Rolex would dump the ceramic red herring.
